^No, they talked about it but they said it's out of the picture right now. It would really be cool to have a a 375-400HP V8 in the lineup but I'm OK with the weight and V6.

That's cool, if that is how you think, that's fine. For me, I'm only loyal to who ever gives me the best bang for my buck. Who ever "understands" my performance/enthusiast mind (light weightish, rwd, stickshift, good price, 2+2 needs) and offers me the most for my money will win me as a customer.
I keep trying to buy from GM (I refuse to buy from Ford for more than one reason), and even considered the Charger but both companies apparently just don't get "ME" as a buyer or performance minded person.
I wanted the Camaro before it died off, but they killed it and then they built the G8 and forced a automatic on it, on Dodge's side they brought the charger 4dr (am I thinking of the right car?) but stuck a automatic on that also. Then...other than the Vette GM only makes FWD sporty cars which I do not care for and Dodge...well, they have a huge mess and have nothing I want.
So...what do I do? Get a FWD and blindly buy American (not saying you do, you have your reasons...I'm talking about me) just to buy American? Why? Who works for this money? Who has to live with this product? Why buy GM or Dodge then?
I'm sorry, but I don't shop like that. I had and still hold out that the LOVELY Camaro once I test drive it will sell me but it has super tight rear seating, weighs more than I'd like and while I'd LOVE...and I MEAN LOVE to own one I have a child, am planning another, and I just might need in the least more space in the rear.
What would I love honestly, a 6spd G8 GT but that aint going to happen per GM (aint paying for a EVEN LESS fuel efficient GXP) and until I test those rear seats in the Camaro I just don't see a possible future for me with the Camaro no matter how much I want it.
Honestly...that's a sad realization for me, so if this Genesis Coupe can keep me RWD, sporty 2-door with at least pretty good rear seating space then I'm sold. Either that, or a slightly used BMW 328i, ugly Subi WRX 265HP 2009 version (GOD help me), or maybe some other RXsomething or other from Mazda.
It pains me to be in this situation...but GM and Dodge, keep failing me.
Note: I know Mazda is largely owned by Ford...but they have been initiated in already.
